Forum newbie here and this is fantastic; thanks Buzz! Our first trip to CSR is coming up in 21 days. We'll be there from 4/2-4/10 and are really looking forward to it. We've always stayed at the value resorts in the past and think it's great that so many people love CSR! We had no idea about it when we booked and are feeling really good about our choice now!

We are taveling June 11th thru June 18th. This will be my families first time. I earned the trip thru Pampered Chef. I don't love that the trip is in June, but over half of it is paid for, so I am not complaining!!! Any tips on beating the heat. Anything we must do???I love this website for all the great tips.So far I have booked restervations at Ohana's, Teppan Edo, Boma's and Whispering Canyon. Are these good places for 2 adults and a 9 &6 year old? Should we change any of them or are their any "musts" to eat at?The other nights we will be doing counter service or ordering in! I am debating over doing a town car or the ME and having groceries delievered. I want to save money and do breakfast in the room and hoping to come back to the room for a lite lunch. Also, room choices, I have read your reviews. Seems like the ranchos are the least favorite. Any tips for my childrens ages? They are boys, so I want a area for them to be able to run and have fun. Any tips would be great!!!

We're doing a split stay with the WL (7th-11th), but I think right now I'm more excited about CSR! The rooms there appeal to me so much more than WL...but I'm sure I'll like being close to MK...I'll be sure to post a TR and let you know which one wins!

Can't forget the wonderful accomodations at CSR. My wife is really looking forward to another spa treatment (and I think the goodies this year includes a Nikki Bryan discount coupon).

UPDATE! Now arriving four days earlier! September 5th - 17th. Upgraded to king room, got my MNSSSP for the 14th as well as La Nouba and Disney Quest for the first time. We will be in the second trimester with our first child when we go, so my theory is if you're going to take it slower... you need more time to take it slow
